songbirds: on distractions.

the sound of the rain. the sound of the blowing wind. the sound of the cars racing on the road. the sound of the car's chassis. the sound of the people talking, and the tweeting birds. i always try to listen to anything i hear to distract myself temporarily from the things that boggle my mind. through listening to those kinds of sounds, i could distract myself from the pain, confusion, pressure, and sadness i feel.

sometimes, as a distraction, i sing to myself. i turn myself into a radio and sing songs i like and make myself feel at ease. sometimes, i just amuse myself because i have nothing to do, or i am just alone.

hearing those kinds of sounds make me feel like i am hearing music, but they do not produce any melody or tune. just theoe plain sounds make me feel relaxed, and they make me daydream, too. every time i have a bad day, or whenever i am in a awkward moment, i try to hum to myself or listen to the sounds i hear from the surroundings just to keep myself sane.

at this very moment. i am listening to the sound of my keyboard typing and to the movie my brother is watching. apparently, i am feeling kind of frustrated, and i think i should listen to real music now.

i have been overthinking lately. i must and i should distract myself from doing that.
